Conveying an idea Delicately.

A prominent Albany clergyman, who
lived for some years in the South and is
quite familiar with the typical plantation
darkey, tells Of gentleman of his quon-
dam acquaintance who had faithful old
body servant whose word, with his mas.
ter, was law. Before making an impor.
tant purchase, or in fact taking any step
which might have serious consequences,
the old darkey retainer was consulted
and his opinion was usually final. One
day, however, the old servant was away
from home, and in his absence the master
made purchase of horse. Whether
or not the animal was a fine bargain the
story does not explain, leaving it rather
to be inferred from the old dsrkey's
comment upon the matter when he re-
turned. With some qualms Of conscience
and an inexplicable feeling of insignifi'
canoe, the Master led the old servant into
the stable and exhibited his equine pur
chase. "Well, SAM" he said finally
breaking an awkward silence, "why
don't you say something? What dt
you think of my bargain?' The ole
darkey scratched his white woo!y heat
and answered slowly: "Well, massa,
war tryin' ter t'ink OBJ varse from Scrip
cha dat pears ter me ter be applicable

my ole head, but know it ends wild d.

Laying the Foundations.

An old man, aged eighty, died in a
cave in range of mountains in Pennsyl-
vania last summer. He had subsisted
for years by begging, living on broken
victuals, and carefully hiding the money
given him. After his death. q large
amount of silver was discovered buried
in the cave, with government bonds and
certificates of stock. His son, who was
cripple, he allowed to die in the county
almshouse.
An old man who knew him in his
youth, said:
ellis father taught him to cheat at
marbles for pennies. He WAS trained to
believe that there was no value in educa.
ton, in religion, in the affections, in the
decencies, in the happiness of life,-in
nothing, in short, but money"
The heir to one of the great ducal
estates of England was disposed, when
boy, to be extravagant and sensual. His
mother would not allow his tutors to
curb him.
"It is the etfervescence Of YOUTH" she
said. ut will pass away in time.''

Marriage rs q Partnership.

Marriage is still only too often a bar
gain, but at least it is no longer an en-.
tirely one sided bargain. 1t is tending
toward the only true idea of lifelong
companionship-a partnership on equal
terms, with equal give and-take on both
sides. Women no longer feel bound to
render that implicit obedience which was
considered de riqueur in our great-grand-
mothers days, and men no longer uni.
versally demand it.
Husbands, moreover, are beginning to
learn that their prime duty is not "to
look after" their wives. The very sem
tence is Indicative of the most ghastly
misapprehension of the whole idea Of
matrimony. The general feeling of
society condemns man who lives to
rule his wife on the same principles as 8
Pasha rules his harem.
And indeed the whole scheme Of
modern life makes it practically impos-
sible for him to do so. A married wo.
man enjoys, as rule, complete liberty
during the livelong day, and even at
night it is frequently impossible for
busy man to escort his wife. Thus
everything turns on the relations be.
tween the married couple.
If girl is really in love with the man
she marries, she may be trusted with any
amount of subsequent freedom. If not,
not; and therefore We say that the inju-
dicious and worldly parents who are re.

the many evil results which are to be

girls are as much forced into marriage as

Prehistoric Americans.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA correspon.
dent in to-day's Post, writing from Tue
son, Arizona, says that some very impor.
tant discoveries concerning prehistoric
races have been made during the past
year by Professor Frank Cushman, who
has charge of an exploring expedition in
the Salt River Valley in Southern
Arizona. The remains of an ancient city
we're found. Investigation showed that
the city extended out in all directions
from palace or temple. The foundation
of many of the houses had been exposed,
many of them consisting of but a single
room, but now and then there would be
one of larger and more ample proportions,
and in most of these larger ones there
had been found burial vaults and skele.
tons. Two thousand of these skeletons
had been exhumed There was general
burial ground, where the dead seemed to
have been thrown in promiscuously.
Large quantities of pottery were found
in the tombs and dwellings. The finer
pieces were Of many different shades, but
were all of light color, with black mark.
ings and figures, reminding one greatly
of ancient Egyptian pottery. The infe-
rior specimens look much like that made
by the Arizona Indians at the present
time. No iron, copper or metal instru-
ments of any kind have been found, but
great quantities of stone axes, stone
pestles and mortars, bone needles and
knives and other such materials as belong
to the stone age. But the skill with
which these articles were made was far
superior to that shown by the Indians
found in America by the whites.
Mr.. Cushman had found good deal of
wheat and barley and other grain, all of
it, of course, in cbarred and blackened
condition, and he had also traced several
canals and had found the ruins of o large
reservoir, so that he had no doubt that
extensive irrigation had been carried on,
and that all the valley had been under
cultivation. He thinks there must have
been population of at least $4,000 in
the ruined city he was exploring, and that
most of the inhabitants lived by cultiyat-
| ing the soil of the surrounding country.
Mr.. Cushman thinks that these ancient
dwellers suffered from great calamity,
like the inhabitants of Herculaneum and
Pompeii 1t was probably an earthquake,
as skeletons have been found under the
walls of houses, lying as if the walls had
suddenly fallen upon the persons and
crushed them to death. They were no
doubt religious people and strongly
superstitious, so that they saw in the
calamity that befell them a warning to
seek some other abode. They probably
moved south, and it may have been their
descendants that the Spaniards found in
Mexico. They were certainly equal in
intelligence and general advancement to
the AZ!ecs.
Specimens of the houses and imple.
ments have been gathered for the Smith
sonian Institution, in the interests of
which the investigation has been con.

such character as to enable its students
to be successful in other departments
than farming. The President of the
Michigan Agricultural College is an
ex-member Of Congress and lawyer,
and has no practical knowledge of agri.
culture. 1t exists now only on the
defensive, and has its agents at work all
over the State es means of self
preservation. After over twenty years OF
experimenting on the part of the Massa.
chusetts and Michigan colleges they find
it difficult to exist. For long time the
college of Massachusetts excluded the
languages and required compulsory
education. Although supported by most
liberal appropriations from the State, it
was not a success. -Four years ago the
board of trustees, to meet the demand for
more liberal education for the farmers,
introduced in connection with the course
a scientific ard literary department.
The course now aims to give practical
knowledge of horticulture and agrlcul.
ture, and at the same time educate the
whole man. The students should not be
mere artisans, but literally educated, so
that as farmers they might take rank
with those who choose what are generally
called the learned professions, 1tisvery
plain, farming will never take its place,
nor farmers have the influences in the
Government which they ought to have,
until they take their place with those in
other professions, not only as men Of
power and practical ability, but men of
learning and culture"
The Chancellor then showed that a
large majority of the graduates of the
best agricultural colleges went into other
professions.
He said that the best agricultural
school for q boy was during the period Of
infancy under the guidance of practical
parents. That boy could learn more
about farming in that way than all the
wisdom Of all the agricultural colleges
could teach in lifetime.
Capt. Tillman in his reply said that an
agricultural college was necessity to
the farmers Of the upper counties. The
hills had been washed so much by the
rains that in few years it would be i'm.
possible to make cotton. or other produce.
If for no other reason than to benefit the
up. country an agricultural college
should be established. He said that the
low country owed to them to give them
an opportunity Of lettering their condi.

from these stores were very costly. Cal
